Crockett's Victory Garden

This book is pretty outdated at this point - I'm sure I have read at least 10 more recent gardening books that talk about growing month-by-month. This one also has the disadvantage of being decidedly not organic. The author refers to dosing his plants with diazinon, and uses commercial fertilizer instead of compost.

My husband and I learned to garden from this book. We watched the TV show and fell in love with Jim Crockett. Every time we had a question, we would look at each other and say, "Go ask Crockett," and he would always have the answer. His death was such a loss to the gardening world. We loved him, and cherish this book,though it is old and garden-worn.

Dad's favorite resource for his vegetable and herb gardening. He also liked the TV series. Judging by Dad's tomatoes and other produce, it helped.

Dad referred to him as "Saint Crockett."

Should a good resource for gardeners, homesteaders, and even farmers. Includes pest and problem information, and it's special mark is the month by month description of vegetable care. You just open up to the month you are in and you can browse the vegetables to be planted, the vegetables to be harvested, and the vegetables that need special maintenance.

A useful reference to growing vegetables, month by month.

Great hints for growing veggies.
